    In this video, we’re going to look at three reasons Trump could actually be good for the UK: namely, that the UK might avoid a trade war; might be able to capitalise on America’s own economic woes; and might be able to strike a new deal with the EU.

    • @philipcrossley1279
      @philipcrossley1279 День тому +13

      It's widely acknowledged that many councils have been cash strapped for the last 15+ years. There's no chance of additional funding by central government, for now at least, and there is more demand than ever for services and infrastructure. Those things aren't for free, so why is there such a push-back against being asked to pay for them? The alternative to higher council tax is higher general taxation and the risk of some areas being underfunded while others have a surplus (as has been the case in recent years). When councils are underfunded, finances are spread thin, nothing is done "properly" which ultimately leads to higher costs to fix things, corner cutting just causes waste. A one off above inflation increase will not repair all the damage of the last 15 years, but it will help.
      Everyone should accept that things have to be paid for or we "do without".
      If people currently don't use any of the public services, facilities and amenities provided by your local authority, it doesn't mean they never will.
      I expect most people use the footpaths, roads, schools, parks, leisure centres, waste collection, planning and building control, citizens advice etc at subsidised cost or cost free at point of use. The local authority can't be expected to maintain those on a very frayed and tattered shoestring budget.

      @eMJayHaych.13 A land tax imposed by central government or local government?
      Council tax banding could be modified to take account of land value, and apply an appropriate level of taxation, but I suspect that would require parliamentary approval and new legislation, which might see sufficient opposition to slow the process by years.
      If it was to be done at national level, we might see inappropriate sharing of the proceeds, especially if the government changes.

    If you consider TLDR to be biased and apologetic of something then you need to reflect on your way of thinking. The channel makes a considerable effort to look at world events from a pragmatic standpoint without involving any emotional arguments and reactions, which I really appreciate. Yes, sometimes they have hiccups and inaccuracies, but first, those are honest mistakes without malicious intent, and second, they condense news into videos of less than ten minutes, hence TLDR News. If you want to listen to complete analyses on the topic of "orange man literally H-man" or "orange man savior of the universe" then just find yourself a nice echo chamber channel that aligns with your beliefs and don't litter the neutral space with spastic nonsense

      @ I know so many people personally who've been on waiting lists for over a year, and their conditions have only gotten worse and worse. Some have had to resort to private clinics to actually get surgery done.
      The US system is broken, but so is our system. When people are missing things like cancer diagnoses because our system is too overflowed, then it's on par with the US system because people are literally dying from it.
      At least in the US you can live, even with immense debt.

      I mean, when everyone around you is getting hurt for no reason, I would consider not being hurt "faring well" - its all relative. Some countries in e.g. the 2008 financial crisis are considered to have "fared well" even just by taking a smaller hit than most of the world, not even just by staying still.

Picking Mandelson (scummy as he might be) for ambassador was also a shrewd move as he's well-connected with most of the factions of the new administration. Now it just remains to be seen if they play their cards well and secure a strong outcome for the UK.

    One thing I've been trying to figure out is the effect of a trade war on third countries. If country A and country B both slap 25% tariffs on one another, but neither on country C, then presumably both countries will now have quite a lot of stuff they'd otherwise sell to each other, but which is now is uncompetitive in each other's markets. Meaning you'd think country C would benefit, it's products would now have less competition, and it should be able to buy stuff for less.
    Of course, I'm not an economist and the net-effect on country C could still be negative, if it results in a global economic slowdown. But still, that picture makes intuitive sense.
